How to Hypnotize A Shark

by News of the Weird,posted Oct 21 2011 1:10PM

According to Italian Shark experts, if you find yourself unexpectedly swimming with a shark...don't panic! You can easily hypnotize almost any shark (according to the researchers....not me!!) simply by rubbing their ampullae of Lorenzini: the name given to hundreds of jelly-filled pores around the animals nose and mouth. The sharks apparently love it and will fall into a deep trance for as long as you rub this area. Of course you will eventually have to stop rubbing to come up for air and then the shark may eat you, but it will be cool to balance a shark on your fingertips at least for a little while!
